New Year, New Compliments
Compliments are a great way to let vistors send a quick note or show their appreciation for your page. Based on the ideas you suggested, we’re happy to offer four new compliments!

You control which compliments display on your page. Just head to your Contact tab in the Edit panel to add or remove any compliments you’d like.
So stop by your favorite pages and let them know why their pages rock with some compliments.
The Law on about.me
Apps for journalists, bloggers, authors
If you are a writer with an about.me page, there are a number of Apps perfect for you. Read on and be sure these are added to your page!
WordPress
WordPress is the most popular blogging platform online today. There’s also an about.me widget for either WordPress.org or WordPress.com, displaying your page as an about section.
Blogger
Blogger has been around for more than 10 years, so has accumulated lots of writers with a fantastic network.

TypePad is the last of the big three blog networks, supporting large corporate and news blogs as well as individuals.
Tumblr
Tumblr is the newest of these blogging platforms, supporting bloggers and curators with its unique features.
Finally, be sure to check out our latest Feed feature. We now support any discoverable RSS feed of written content, so if you aren’t on one of the platforms above (or are) give it a try!
Venture into Avant Garde
Let’s look at some about.me users who think outside the box. How do they express avant garde within the constraints of their about.me page?
Add a Feed to your about.me page
We’re excited to announce that you can now add an RSS feed of content directly to your about.me page. This is a perfect feature for journalists, bloggers and other writers looking to showcase their work.
The feed displays the most recent title and source of the piece. When clicked, visitors are directed to the original site and content, driving more reader traffic to your work!
To add a Feed to your page, head to your Links tab in your Edit view. At the bottom there’s a place to add a Blog URL. Enter the URL and we’ll pull the RSS feed from that page.
We’ve pulled together a collection of people who have added a Feed to their page at Storify. Check them out!
